Place: Pho Ta,Whitaker Ave (next to Ben City Supermarket)

Pho Ta is right by Ben City Supermarket and the original location is located in South Philly. This is their second location and it's small but has a wide array of Pho you can eat. I went on a Saturday afternoon with my parents.

The broth was very flavorful. The seasonings and spices were fragrant. Although you could tell there was an overabundance of MSG/Salt but it was still very good. You could tell that they have a stock pot full of broth and it has been simmering all day. Simmering all day = deliciousness remember that!

The meat quality was very good. I tried my best to get a Pho Dac Biet but it wasn't on the menu so I opted for the brisket, steak, meatball, and tripe. The brisket and steak were cut very thinly and as you can see from the picture the broth is bold and dark but clear enough to see everything else presented in the bowl.

The vegetables were fresh they gave you a great assortment of basil, lime, bean sprouts, and culantro. Not many places use culantro so kudos to you Pho Ta!

The noodles were overdone but they gave you plenty to eat.

The Pho looked gorgeous. The sheen of oil to the green onion, thinly sliced onion, and cilantro made it beautiful. The clearness of the broth is wonderful!

It was very affordable the Dac Biet was about 8.50 for a large.

I would definitely recommend this place based on their pho. If you don't want pho they have tons of other food and family meals. Definitely worth going just for the pho though! And its much closer than the South Philly location!
